Robinhood - Senior Software Engineer, Prime
Requirements
• A track record of independently delivering complex, high-ambiguity projects with long-term impact, operating them in production and owning every line you ship. • Strong full-stack range in production — a modern backend (we work primarily in Python/Django and Go) and a component-based frontend (we use Vue) — with the judgment to know where a given problem is best solved and a genuine willingness to own whatever the feature needs, wherever it lives in the stack. • Hands-on experience building financial systems — user balances, ledgers, risk engines, settlement, onboarding/KYC, or payments — where correctness is non-negotiable and mistakes are expensive. • Strong design judgment: you enumerate the failure paths, name your invariants, and can point at the constraint, test, or alert that enforces each one. • Excellent communication: you drive alignment across teams and stakeholders, give substantive design-level review feedback, and mentor engineers to raise the bar around you. • Click here to learn more about our Total Rewards, which vary by region and entity. • If our mission energizes you and you’re ready to build the future of finance, we look forward to seeing your application. • AI Usage Disclosure: Robinhood uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of our recruiting process.

Responsibilities
• Lead the design and end-to-end delivery of features across the stack — from Prime backend services (settlement, on-exchange credit, lending, tokenized securities) through to the frontend and backoffice screens clients and ops teams rely on. • Own the client- and ops-facing journeys across the institutional lifecycle — onboarding, account configuration, reporting, and the tooling that lets operations run the business safely. • Author detailed designs and break work into reviewable steps, making failure states, invariants, and recovery explicit before you ship — on flows where a wrong answer moves real money. • Uplevel the team through design-focused code review and mentorship, and move fluidly between backend and frontend as the work demands rather than handing off at a boundary.
